877, electromagnetic gun warship live ammunition test(1/2)
In July, the second-generation Iron Dome electromagnetic gun warship was successfully constructed.
Like the second-generation Lurker main battle tank, Xia Yang once again approved a large budget with a wave of his hand, conducted live-fire tests on the Iron Dome electromagnetic gun battleship with great fanfare, and invited many old and new customers to participate.
I have no choice but to spend some money this time.
Because of the Iron Dome electromagnetic gun battleship, since receiving orders for six ships from three companies including Spur and Xinga Island, no other purchasing countries have placed any orders.
When this happens, it goes without saying.
First, the unit price of each electromagnetic gun warship is as high as two billion U.S. dollars, which is too expensive. Second, it is caused by fierce competition between the United States and Britain.
Naturally, the purchasing countries are happy with this, as they can compare products and lower prices.
In addition, some smart purchasing countries may feel that technology is developing too fast nowadays, and electromagnetic guns have been developed, but the battleships only carry one electromagnetic gun, and the firepower is not strong enough. Maybe the electromagnetic gun warships launched now are just transitional products.
So you can wait a little longer. Maybe after two years when the electromagnetic gun technology matures, there will be powerful warships equipped with three or five electromagnetic guns with a larger caliber. It won't be too late to spend money to buy them.
Needless to say, Xia Yang, as an arms dealer, has always had the biggest headache when meeting such shrewd and stingy customers. There is no good way to dissuade them except by letting them see the power and advancement of electromagnetic gun battleships with their own eyes.
Thoughts on tightening the purse strings.
Someone else has such an advanced electromagnetic gun warship. If your family doesn't sell it and buy a few, how can you sleep peacefully?
Therefore, Xia Yang spent tens of millions of dollars on the live ammunition test of the second-generation Iron Dome battleship, just to fully demonstrate the power of the second-generation Iron Dome electromagnetic gun battleship.
On Monday, it rained lightly.
Xia Yang rode the Eight-Eyed Trident car, escorted by eight bodyguard cars, and drove into the Spur Naval Port unimpeded.
All nine cars were stained by the rain.
"I'm just waiting for you. Come up with me."
Lawson was waiting under the command building of the Admiralty. When he saw Xia Yang approaching, he hurriedly threw away the cigarette in his hand and came forward.
However, Xia Yang took his time and raised his wrist to look at his watch. "You can be more exaggerated. Just wait for me. There are still fifteen minutes until the live ammunition test starts."
Lawson rolled his eyes and said, "Don't you know that you have blown up the Iron Dome electromagnetic gun battleship to the sky? People who don't know think that what you sell is not a ship that sails on the sea at all, but a space battleship, so all purchasing countries are selling it."
I can't wait, I want to see if the Iron Dome electromagnetic gun battleship is as powerful as you boast."
"To be honest, if we at Spur hadn't stopped us, the live-fire test would have started long ago without even waiting for you, the boss."
Hearing this, Xia Yang's face felt slightly hot. He had no choice but to exaggerate the Iron Dome electromagnetic gun warships in order to sell a few more.
"Okay, I guess what you said makes sense, let's go up early."
Xia Yang walked into the elevator with Lawson with a warm face.
Soon the two took the elevator upstairs and arrived at the command center.
The command center was already full of people.
Some of them are senior officials and generals of Spur's military department, and some of them are customers of Leso.
Dinesen from the Netherlands, Colonel Daniela from Israel, Li Yingzhen from Han Taiguo, and new client Li Xianchang from Singapore Island, etc.
There are many new and old customers of Leso, and they are all here.
Lawson said it right, just wait for Xia Yang.
"The boss is here, hurry up, start testing!"
Seeing Xia Yang's arrival, Dinesen was the first to rudely urge the Iron Dome electromagnetic gun battleship test to start quickly.
Apparently everyone was impatient.
The person who presided over the test this time was Quan Zhixi. Naturally, she would not listen to Dinesen and looked at Xia Yang with a pair of big black eyes.
Seeing Xia Yang nodding.
Only then did she use a clear voice to officially announce the start of the live ammunition test of the Leso II Iron Dome electromagnetic gun battleship.
"On behalf of Leso, I sincerely welcome everyone to participate in this test. Now I announce that the live ammunition test of the second-generation Iron Dome electromagnetic gun warship has officially begun. Now please watch the big screen."
Quan Zhixi asked everyone to look at a giant screen in front of the command room.
But everyone has seen enough.
Because what is displayed on the screen is the Leso II Iron Dome electromagnetic gun battleship.
At this time, this brand new second-generation Iron Dome battleship is parked in the port outside.
The fully invisible design, coupled with the dark gray paint coating, looms under the light rain, as if disappearing from sight at any time.
The long and narrow streamlined hull without any unnecessary embellishments looks like a sharp spear floating on the sea, capable of penetrating enemy warships at any time.
While waiting for Xia Yang to come over, Dinesen and others passed the time watching the Iron Dome electromagnetic gun battleship. It was amazing at first, but after watching it for a long time, they had enough.
However, after hearing Quan Zhixi's words, they were still very proud and turned their attention to the sci-fi battleship on the big screen.
They are all insiders.
While watching, I have to admire Leso's strong industrial design and industrial manufacturing capabilities again.
Because to be able to build a battleship compactly and even exquisitely, it is necessary to ensure that every part and component on the battleship reaches an unattainable level of precision.
"The Leso II Iron Dome electromagnetic gun battleship has a total length of 180 meters, a side width of 24 meters, a draft of eight meters, and a full load displacement of 14,000 tons. It is smaller than the American Zumwal electromagnetic gun battleship.
Some."
"However, our second-generation Iron Dome electromagnetic gun battleship can undertake just as many tasks, or even more."
Accompanied by Quan Zhixi’s clear explanation.
The Iron Dome electromagnetic gun battleship originally parked in the port quickly activated and sailed away from the port, preparing to reach the deep sea for live ammunition testing.
However, the picture displayed on the big screen in the command room was always clear.
Because there are cameras outside following us.
At this time, above the second-generation Iron Dome electromagnetic gun battleship that was sailing on the sea, in the drizzle high in the sky, a helicopter was following closely behind.
Several cameras were pointed at the second-generation Iron Dome electromagnetic gun warship to take pictures.
And it was none other than director Cameron who took the photo.
In fact, Future Warfare 2 already contains many of Leso's latest weapons.
For example, the Crusher self-propelled artillery, the Bird heavy fighter, the Caster early warning aircraft, the Sentinel air defense system, and especially the behemoth Black Bat series of fighters.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Even the Medusa laser weapon, which is still being optimized, was eagerly put in Future War 2 by Cameron.
But Cameron was not satisfied yet. Originally, Future War 2 was almost finished filming, but he occasionally heard that the Leso electromagnetic gun battleship was planned to be built ahead of schedule, so without further ado, the movie was postponed and the Iron Dome electromagnetic gun battleship must be included in the movie.
.
So, Cameron finally waited and took advantage of the good opportunity of the live-fire test of the Iron Dome electromagnetic gun battleship to shoot movie materials.
And Xia Yang also has an additional free photographer, one of the top in the world.
Under Cameron's operation, the picture on the large screen in the control room is always clear and stable.
Well, he is indeed one of the world's top directors with top-notch camera skills.
This made everyone in the command room feel very comfortable and at the same time more satisfied.
Because it is an actual combat test, a lot of monitoring equipment is placed on the Iron Dome electromagnetic gun battleship to monitor various performance data of the battleship in real time.
Therefore, in addition to the picture of the Iron Dome electromagnetic gun battleship traveling on the sea, what is displayed on the big screen also has various performance data.
For example, noise, 108 decibels.
Speed, forty knots, infrared radiation, etc.
Looking at these data, Dinesen and other customers secretly nodded.
You must know that even the quietest sea has a background noise of at least 95 decibels.
The noise generated by the Iron Dome electromagnetic gun battleship that is traveling rapidly is only 108 decibels. This level of sound is almost impossible to hear unless you get close.
There is also infrared radiation.
Usually, in addition to the sound produced by the engine, the most likely thing to reveal the position of a battleship is the infrared radiation produced by the engine.
On the Iron Dome electromagnetic gun battleship, only a little infrared radiation appears above the command tower, and there is no infrared radiation on the other hull.
Yes, the control tower of the Iron Dome electromagnetic gun battleship is also a smoke exhaust pipe.
The American Zumwal electromagnetic ship is also designed in this way.
"The second-generation Iron Dome electromagnetic gun battleship also adopts the integrated smoke exhaust design of the first-generation Iron Dome battleship, and adds a water-cooling heat dissipation system to further reduce infrared radiation. The American Zumwal battleship also adopts this design."
"We admit that in terms of warship stealth and improving survivability, the methods and technologies used by our Leso are similar to those of the American Zumwal warship, but there is one difference, and it is fundamentally different."
"The design goal of the Zumwal warship is to attack and destroy land targets, so the weapon systems it carries are mainly for land missions."
"For example, it carries a large number of intercontinental missiles and other weapons. In addition, the air defense is also mainly short-range air defense, basically just for self-defense."
"However, our Leso second-generation Iron Dome electromagnetic gun battleship is completely different. Our goal is to design a comprehensive warship that can fight independently at sea and survive independently. This requires the second-generation Iron Dome battleship to be capable of many tasks, such as anti-aircraft,
Anti-ship, ground attack, mine clearance, anti-submarine, etc., all can be done independently."
"It was difficult, but our Leso II Iron Dome electromagnetic gun battleship did it."
